Controversy averted.
The largest telecommunications company in Indonesia is building its third data center in Singapore, worth S$153 million, but it will not be used to host sensitive data from the Indonesian government, as it was earlier accused of planning.
“It’s for businesses in Singapore only. Telkom is building its third data centre in Singapore after winning a tender, through Telekomunikasi Indonesia International Singapore for permission to operate a data centre in Jurong,” the Enterprises Minister Rini Soemarno is quoted in Today.
The Indonesia Club, a non-governmental organisation in Indonesia, had earlier filed criminal charges against the minister, because it was under the impression that Teilin-3 data center was to be used to host Indonesian government data.
"Of course we will abide by our own regulations. Data servers for public services must be located here (in Indonesia)," says Soemarno.
